ConCoction 7 welcomes Wild Mercy

11/25/2019

The friends and volunteers here at Cleveland ConCoction's 2020 Convention (aka ConCoction 7) wish to welcome featured music guests, Wild Mercy! 

The two time Best Performance nominees and 2012 Best Performance Pegasus Award winning group is a welcome addition to our musical guests in 2012.

Comprised of performers Sally Childs-Helton, Barry Childs-Helton, Jen Midkiff, and Debbie Gates, they call their music something like "neo-Celtic-powered post-industrial electro-acoustic folk-rock with jazz influences and freeform choral structure" but agree that it's always more fun to make music than to label it.

We look forward to having them with us for their first time at ConCoction 2020 during performances, panels, workshops, and open filks.
